SET UP BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Memorise:

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11

Read:

Genesis 32:24-30

(1 Samuel 11:1) Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.

(1 Samuel 11:2) And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.

(1 Samuel 11:3) And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.

(1 Samuel 11:4) Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.

(1 Samuel 11:5) And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.

Open Heavens Devotional Message
In 2 Kings 5:20, Gehazi not only resolved to pursue Naaman but also to take something from him. Little wonder he got what he sought! Matthew 7:7 says it is what you seek that you will find. What are you seeking? When this question was thrown at Paul, he said he was seeking to know Jesus and the power of His resurrection, and he got it. Be careful of what you are searching for! However, there is a dangerous twist when Naaman turned to receive and attend to Gehazi. This simply tells us that the devil makes backsliding very easy. Gehazi did not have to run after Naaman for too long. If he did, he would probably have grown tired and could have changed his mind. It is common knowledge that you don’t need much strength of effort to descend a hill. Usually, while facing a temptation, the devil makes it so alluring and easy to get. He tells his potential victim to go ahead and immediately feed on his or her lust. This is one reason to suspect anything that seems good but appears so easy to achieve; it could just be a satanic booby trap!

Satan easily plans the fall of men and women. He sets people up. Have you ever wondered what Uriah’s wife was doing naked at that time of the day, considering it was not yet night? David got up from bed and he felt like taking a stroll; unknown to him, Satan had set up both of them to fall into the sin of adultery. Every satanic set up to bring you down shall fail.

Many years ago, while I was still young in the village, I overheard the native medicine man saying that if one is preparing medicine to heal the sick and seven leaves are required, which must be arranged in a particular order; that if one misses the order by one step, the healing charm would not work. But that if one requires seven leaves to prepare an evil charm, by the time the fellow gets five, the charm will take effect. James 4:8 says if you choose to pursue God, He will equally simplify the process for you. For every step you take towards God, He will take a longer stride towards you. In other words, if you truly want to serve God in the midst of difficult circumstances, He will be there to back you up with His grace.

Bible In One Year:

2 Kings 11-14

Key Point
To sin is like going down a slope, while to live holy live is like climbing a hill.

Reflect Jesus – RCCG Open Heavens of Wednesday 14th August 2013

REFLECT JESUS BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Memorise:

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Read:

1 Thessalonians 5:4-9

(1 Thessalonians 5:4) But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

(1 Thessalonians 5:5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

(1 Thessalonians 5:6) Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

(1 Thessalonians 5:7) For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

(1 Thessalonians 5:8) But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

(1 Thessalonians 5:9) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Open Heavens Devotional Message
God is calling every believer to arise and shine. You can shine like the sun by burning a bit of yourself bit by bit through giving. You can also shine like the moon. How? The moon receives light from the sun and reflects it to the world. Shortly before His ascension, the Lord gave an instruction to His disciples in Mark 16:15-18. He was simply asking them to go in His name, take the light from Him and reflect it to the world. You need to reflect His light because of the gross darkness that will cover the earth.

One characteristic of light is that it attracts all kinds of things, both good and bad. If you turn on a light bulb in the midst of the night, it will attract all kinds of insects. Just as light attracts good things, so does it also attracts bad, ugly and evil things. In effect, the moment you begin to shine, be on your guard. The moment your church begins to grow or to achieve for God, get ready for those who will want to pull it down.

Someone once said there are witches in the Redeemed Christian Church of God and I told him there are many of them. Some of them may even be among workers, choir, wives of ministers and pastors. I also added that the church is God’s hospital and in every good hospital, you will have the worst or most challenging cases. However, light also attracts kings, princes and nobles and you need these in your church. Do you know that we are yet to have the best singers, instrumentalists, prayer champions, ushers and ministers?

Do you know that those who may be used of God to take your church to the next level are yet in the world as unconverted souls? If your light does not attract them, what a disservice that would be to the body of Christ! Some sisters are praying for husbands meanwhile God’s right choice for them may still be ‘enjoying’ the world. It is when we reach out to these that such prayers may be answered. In the same vein, some helpers that God will use in taking you to your next level might still be unsaved. The more souls are saved, the greater our chances of accessing such potential brethren.

Bible In One Year:

2 Kings 7-10

Action Point
That convert may be a potential helper to you. Win more souls today!

Prayer Is Key – RCCG Open Heavens Devotional Tuesday 13th August 2013 - Praying Girl

PRAYER IS KEY BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Memorise:

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Genesis 32:26

Read:

Genesis 32:24-30
(Genesis 32:24) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of (Genesis 32:25) Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

(Genesis 32:26) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 

(Genesis 32:27) And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

(Genesis 32:28) And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

(Genesis 32:29) And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

(Genesis 32:30) And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

Open Heavens Devotional Message
Apart from making sacrifices and sowing seeds, another step you must take to enter your next level is prayer. You need to pray because it is only God who can bring you from the past to the present and take you from the present to the future. He is the one who is totally in charge of the elements of time and chance that are required to move you to your next level (Ecclesiastes 9:11). John 15:5 says without God, we can do nothing. If you look at the lives of patriarchs of old, you would see the role prayer played. Abraham and Isaac were great intercessors and Jacob too was a prayer warrior. After wasting several years, it got to a point that he realised he could no longer continue without prayer; so he tarried in God’s presence and wrestled with God until his name was changed and his destiny was released. Do you realise that if he had refuse to breakthrough in prayers, he could have been shut out of the destiny that had been earlier prophesied about him? Many people who claim to know Jesus are still separated from their next level because they have refused not just to pray but to pray through. what Is the essence of praying without getting result?

Looking back in retrospect, I can tell you that my father-in-the-Lord Pa Akindayomi was a seasoned prayer champion. Many years ago, Baba came to visit me in Ilesa (South-west Nigeria).
Then, I lived in a small house on the outskirts of the town and the toilet was outside the house. When I was going to bed that evening, Baba was on his knees praying. I woke up at night to go to toilet and he was still praying. On rising up the following morning, Baba was still praying. I became afraid and began to wonder how I could cope with a man like him. I also wondered what he was praying about, but today I know better. Are you really keen on entering your next level? Then you cannot afford to ignore prevailing prayers. Arise today and hold on to the Lord in prayers until your answer is delivered.

Bible In One Year:

2 Kings 4-6

Prayer Point
Father, help me to pray my way through to my next levels.

Ghana Showbiz: Ghanaian Actress Joselyn Duma Falls On Stage

Who is Joselyn Dumas?
Joselyn Dumas is a multiple award winning Ghanaian TV presenter and actress. She was picked as the 2012 face of the Range Rover Evoque in Ghana. She's best thing since sliced bread in Ghana showbiz industry. The hottest showbiz industry diva. Apparently she is the worst thing when it comes to  making a dance move in Denrele's health hazard high heel shoes.

Denrele is one the most eccentric Nigerian TV presenter in the Nigerian showbiz industry. These two showbiz stars in their own right brought their shine to the recording of O News Live at the Silver Star Towers, Accra.

Read: Nigerian Showbiz: Don Jazzy Has A Crush On Me - Toolz Claims

Joselyn Dumas fell on stage when she wore the very hazardous high boots of eccentric Denrele .Joselyn Dumas was a guest to Denrele on the show when he threw a ‘truth or dare’ at the actress. Joselyn decided to dare Denrele, a bad move. Denrele asked her to take off her Christian Louboutin shoes. Joselyn was then made to wear Denrele’s high heel boots. The fall came when she tried to dance in the hazard high heels. She just tumbled backwards like a rag doll lol. Denrele was on hand to pick her up from the floor. 

Moral of the gist; Joselyn Dumas plus Denrele's eccentric high heel boot equals a stage fall for Joselyn lol.

Nigerian Showbiz: Tonto Dikeh Fighting Back After Her Attempted Suicide

I never knew that most criticized and controversial Nollywood actress to put out a song in the Nigerian showbiz, Totnto Dikeh wanted to commit suicide. That is really unbelievable. So all that tough-girl, I-don't-care attitude on social media was just a charade? People really shoulder some terrible burdan on their shoulder, that I know. Personally I have no remorse for someone that commits suicide, the person should be charged for taking a life. Suicide is never an option. People go through worse and they still manage to survive.

Read: Nigerian Showbiz: Don Jazzy Has A Crush On Me - Toolz Claims

As for Tonto Dikeh, she is living her life right? If what people say is enough to drive her to attempt committing suicide, I think she should seriously check her life before she wreck her life. People will continue to talk. I'm not perfect but in my opinion she enjoyed the controversy she was creating as it garnered enough publicity for her in the Nigerian showbiz industry. Is diminishing returns setting in from that type cheap popularity attained through controversies? She keep doing the controversial things that make people talk and expect them not to talk. Well what you sow/sew is what you reap/rip. Does she not bully other people online?

My advice to you Tonto Dikeh, is live your life right by you and your God and forget about what people are saying including me. Whatever you do people must talk..

Tonto Dikeh tried to commit suicide a few weeks back. Unbelievable, right? I heard everything that happened on that fateful day but decided not to write about it because it’s such a sensitive issue. She really wanted to end her own life but thank God for the intervention of good friends.

If I write details of what happened that day, none of you will believe it. I was in shock myself. All I will say now is please take it easy on her with your comments and attacks on social media.

The only reason I’m writing about it now is because she kinda shared what happened to her on her instagram page but most people didn’t get what she was trying to say. Also, like Tonto said, suicide is never the solution to any problem. This is for those who are contemplating it. See the photo Tonto shared on Instagram and what she wrote.

Tonto posted this photo above on her instragram page and wrote below it..

“WokeUp happy n decided to share diz***I’ve bin here b4 n I can tell u we stronger Dan our problemz/painz/Etc**That day I realized SUICIDE iz for COWARDZ**if u’ve gat no1 to talk to like mii I suggezt u strt wit GOD,diz shitzzzz crazy(world) but it iz Ourz dnt leave it in SHAME,ILOVEU”—Tonto Dikeh

Tonto dear, you’re a beautiful strong woman who deserves to live a long, fulfilling life. Never let what people say about you push you over the edge, because when you really think about it, nobody holy pass. And remember, the haters can scream so loud sometimes that you miss the voices of the people who love you. Hear their voices and know you’re loved. Keep your head up, girl. Linda

*Note* – Abusive comments will not be uploaded on this post. Keep it clean and respectful. And other bloggers, please don’t get messy with this story. It’s serious! Thank
